◊ Cut & Blow dry

Sculpt or straighten hair for those special occasions or occasional treats.

aromatherapy scalp massage, shampoo, conditioner, cut, blow dry and style,
and make-up touch-up or hot towel skin care treatment.

◊ Wet Cut

A wet cut simply refers to a haircut performed when the hair is wet. It may be that the hair is shampooed and conditioned prior to cutting, or the stylist may simply use a sprayer bottle to wet the hair before cutting.

◊ Full head tint

• They make your hair lighter.
• You would only normally be colouring a percentage of your hair. This means a less obvious regrowth and less frequent update visits.
• They are permanent (will grow out rather than fade out).
• If you don’t get too many or go too extreme with your colour choice you can let them grow out easily if you change your mind.
• They are normally done with foils these days but a few salons do still use the ‘cap’ method to give you a cheaper option. The cap method is not suitable for multiple colours or long hair.
• They can even simply be painted on to the surface of your hair if your haircut is suitable and fairly short.
• They do not have to be blonde but can be any colour that is lighter than your natural hair.
• They are a great way to add interest, complement and enhance our face and achieve a change without cutting all your hair off or committing yourself to 6 weekly touch-ups.

◊ Full Head foil highlights

Scattered lights throughout the whole scalp area. Most hairdressers would take 1hr 15min to 1hr 30min for this type of application then you have to add on processing time and rinsing follwed by the cut and style. All together you should really allow 3hrs in the salon.

◊ Cap highlights

Lights placed only where it shows usually this is done to extend the time between full and half head applications. Allow 1hr 30min salon time with cut.

The more highlights you get the more expensive it gets and the more time it takes.

◊ Part head highlights

• Don’t get too many highlights if your natural colour is quite light as your hair will generally get lighter over the summer and you can end up too blonde and looking like you need your regrowth doing.
• Don’t pick too light a colour for your highlights if you are naturally dark. It can look fake and even yellow.
• Highlights don’t have to mean bleach in your hair. Permanent tint can be used which is far less drying although you can’t always get the lightest colours this way.
• For a subtle result never go more that 2 shades lighter than you are naturally.
